SITE MAINTENANCE Our old server was limiting and slow. In order to accommodate our changing needs, we have decided to move to a new address. Welcome to it! Unfortunately, the move has interfered with certain of the site's features, including the most popular feature (the forums). Please bear with us for the next few days as we work out some kinks and reenable these features.

It's easy to silt out yourself and your buddy in Alaska's muddy conditions. Avoid it by staying off the bottom (five feet is good,) improving your kicks (if you are pushing the water backward to propel you forward then you aren't pushing it down to stir up the muck,) and changing your finning techniques. Proven techniques to avoid silting out include the modified flutter and the frog kick.

This page will eventually list regulations and laws relevant to the dive community in Alaska. For now, make use of the tremendous Alaska Legal Resource Center. It will take you to all of the state regs and statutes.

For fishing regulations, you'll want to visit Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Sport Fish Division website. It has a clickable map that will show you regulations whereever you want to fish. A few notes:

Whittier (Prince William Sound regs):

Seward (North Gulf Coast regs):

Homer (Gulf Coast regs):
